Description:
MEPS provides state-level health insurance data for employer-sponsored plans through the MEPS-IC. Beginning in 2004, MEPS-IC also provides a subset of these data for selected metropolitan areas. MEPS-IC data files are not available for downloading.

In 2003, MEPS-HC began providing state-level health care cost data for the largest states. The MEPS-HC public use data files that are available for download do not contain state-level identifiers. This information is available through the AHRQ Data Center for approved research projects.
